Married in 1969 and still married. Despite only a 4 year difference in age, and different tastes in TV, movies and music, we still manage to find a happy medium.

Blackboards and chalk.

not even sure what happened to it. moved on to Atari 800, early PC (DOS only at first!) then various self-build computers. Side trip to Mac Mini. Currently on an HP Stream laptop running Linux Mint Cinnamon MATE. TMI but I'm all done now

Another was “here’s $5 walk down to the store and get me a pack of cigarettes and a 6 pack of beer.” I was 8.

Blackboards and chalk.

Banging erasers together to clean them.
